Build Identifier: 

Introduced members that are marked private in an aspect end up public members with  slightly obfuscated names.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Introduce a field marked private from an aspectj using "declare parents" into a target class.  Compile with ajc.  Use javap to view the resultant target class and observe the obfuscated public field on the target class.

From the mailing list discussion:

Consider the following code, all in package "intro.test": 
=========================
@Target(ElementType.TYPE) 
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) 
public @interface HasBar {} 
================= 
@HasBar 
public class Foo {} 
================= 
public aspect HasBarIntro { 

        private interface HasBar {} 
        
        declare parents: (@intro.test.HasBar *) implements HasBar; 
        
        private String HasBar.bar; 
        
        public String HasBar.getBar() { 
                return bar; 
        } 

        public void HasBar.setBar(String bar) { 
                this.bar = bar; 
        } 
} 
================= 

After compiling, the introduced String "bar" appears as a public field on Foo.  When I run "javap -private intro.test.Foo", I get the following: 

Compiled from "Foo.java" 
public class intro.test.Foo extends java.lang.Object implements intro.test.HasBarIntro$HasBar{ 
    public java.lang.String ajc$interField$intro_test_HasBarIntro$intro_test_HasBarIntro$HasBar$bar; 
    public intro.test.Foo(); 
    public java.lang.String ajc$interFieldGet$intro_test_HasBarIntro$intro_test_HasBarIntro$HasBar$bar(); 
    public void ajc$interFieldSet$intro_test_HasBarIntro$intro_test_HasBarIntro$HasBar$bar(java.lang.String); 
    public java.lang.String getBar(); 
    public void setBar(java.lang.String); 
}
